Chapter 242: Asking for help
Just now, Guo Shi showed off his achievements for a while, but Zhou Chao didn't speak silently, and now he waited for Guo Shi to ask.
Zhou Chao finally had a chance to show off, so he immediately pretended to be an understatement and said lightly to Guo Shi with a look of indifference.
"Me? Well, it's true that I'm no longer a bandit. ”
"I recently followed Liu Zhengqu Shuai, in the fight against the world, a while ago, our army only defeated Jiaozhou, I, because I have no talent, I can only mix a small Qu Changdang under Qu Shuai, and recently served as the Taishou of Yulin County."
Zhou Chao said lightly, although Guo Shi might not be able to hear what position Qu Chang was, but he also served as the Taishou of Yulin County, which surprised Guo Shi.
Guo Shi struggled for so long, and although the uprising captured several states and counties, these states and counties did not think that he was too defending, and he only occupied this place for a short time.
"Liu Zheng is really so powerful that he knocked down the entire Jiaozhou?"
Guo Shi still didn't believe it, and asked Zhou Chao rhetorically.
Zhou Chao said lightly to Guo Shi.
"That's still fake, a month ago, our Qu Shuai had already conquered the entire Jiaozhou, and now he is consolidating the rule of Jiaozhou, recruiting troops to deal with the upcoming officers and troops."
"Actually, I came to your Wuling County this time, and I just wanted to find out the situation first, after all, Brother Guo Shi, if you are defeated by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, those people from the imperial court, the next target is us."
Zhou Cang didn't say at the beginning that he was here to assist Guo Shi, this was taught by Yuan Zhou, this kind of thing, you can't take the initiative to bring it up, but you need Guo Shi to bring it up, and you have to make a reluctant appearance to be able to extort some military resources from Guo Shi's hands.
As soon as Guo Shi heard the intention of the Zhou Dynasty, he just came here to inquire about the situation, and Guo Shi showed a mixed look on his face.
He also knows that the Zhou Dynasty is now with the right person, and the mix is thriving, but Guo Shi has not had a good time recently.
In addition, Guo Shi had already discussed with his subordinates before, whether to go to Liu Zheng for help, and now that the Zhou Dynasty has appeared, what else does he have to consider, so he began to cry to the Zhou Dynasty directly at this time.
"Brother Zhou Dynasty, you are here It's too timely, alas, let me tell you the truth, our uprising was really good before, but now, the imperial court sent Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian to come over to encircle and suppress me, in the past few months, my men and horses have suffered heavy losses."
"Now, even more, they have been defeated by Sun Jian and Liu Biao, leaving only a small half of Wuling County and Lingling County, which are controlled by us."
Guo Shi said these words, and roughly told the Zhou Dynasty about the current situation, these news, the Zhou Dynasty had known before, and now that he heard Guo Shi's description, he just affirmed this information.
"I heard Sun Jian's name be mentioned by my family Qu Shuai, once my family Qu Shuai fought with him, that person is really not easy to deal with, Brother Guo Shi, it is normal for you to be defeated by him."
"Yes, that Sun Jian's strength is very strong, and his ability to command soldiers and horses is even more powerful, just with thousands of men and horses, he defeated my army and retreated one after another, and my men and horses were killed and injured a lot in his hands."
When Guo Shi talked about Sun Jian at Zhou Chao, he suddenly became angry and couldn't help but complain a few words.
"It's just that my Qu Shuai's subordinates are defeated, and when my Qu Shuai's troops are trained, it will be the end of that guy."
The Zhou Dynasty was disdainful.
And Guo Shi was even more surprised when he saw Zhou Chao's tone, so he no longer hid it, and directly asked Zhou Chao for help.
"Brother Zhou, when you come today, I should have entertained you well, but now, your situation is also clear, in a few days, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop Sun Jian's attack, can my brother send someone to support me and deal with those imperial court soldiers and horses together?"
Although Guo Shi doesn't know how many soldiers and horses the Zhou Dynasty has, no matter how many people there are, as long as there are some people, it is enough for Guo Shi to relieve some pressure.
But after Zhou Chao heard Guo Shi's words, he was a little indifferent, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to Guo Shi.
"Brother Guo Shi, you and I are old acquaintances, originally such a request, you opened your mouth, brother, I should not refuse. However, now I can't make my own decisions, the soldiers and horses under my command are all from my family, I am not qualified to transfer, if you want me to help you, you have to ask my family commander. ”
Zhou Chao's words made Guo Shi's face a little unpleasant, but he was not disappointed, after all, Zhou Chao did not completely reject him.
As long as you ask Liu Zheng's will, you may be able to get rescue.
"Brother Zhou Chao, your family Qu Shuai is far away in Jiaozhou, I will go to him now, is it a little too far?"
"It doesn't matter, this time I came over, and my military advisor also came over, this is my military advisor, and he is the most trusted person of my family's Qu Shuai, if you can get his consent, you can get the support of my Qu Shuai."
After Zhou Chao finished speaking, he took a step back, made a way, and paved the way for Yuan Zhou behind him to come out.
Yuan Zhou is not very old, but compared to Zhou Chao and others, he is more calm and smarter.
"In Xia Yuan Zhou, I have seen Guo Shida in charge."
Yuan Zhou was quite polite, walked out, looked at Guo Shi, and took the initiative to say hello to Guo Shi.
And after Guo Shi saw Yuan Zhou, he began to look at Yuan Zhou, Guo Shi had already seen Yuan Zhou at the beginning, but Yuan Zhou was standing behind Zhou Dynasty before, and he did not attract Guo Shi's attention.
At this time, the Zhou Dynasty said that Yuan Zhou's identity was a military advisor under Liu Zheng, which was taken seriously by Guo Shi, especially when the Zhou Dynasty said that as long as Yuan Zhou's consent could be obtained, Liu Zheng's dispatch of troops to assist him would also be successful, Guo Shi became more interested, and his attitude towards Yuan Zhou became better.
"Mr. Strategist, look at what I just said......"
Guo Shi didn't plan to say it to Yuan Zhou again, what he said to Zhou Chao just now, after all, Yuan Zhou had been present, and he had heard everything before.
Guo Shi looked at Yuan Zhou with sincere eyes, looking forward to Yuan Zhou's answer.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, paused for a moment and didn't speak, as if he was thinking, and it was precisely because of this that Guo Shi looked forward to it even more.
After a while, Yuan Zhou pretended to have thought about it, and then continued.
"Guo Shida is in charge, in fact, my family is marshal Qu Shuai, in the battle to unify Jiaozhou, he lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and now he has not recovered enough troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to come here to help you deal with the people of the imperial court."
